TICURA REMEDIES. When six months old his left
hand began to swell and had every appearance
of large boil. We poulticed it. but all to no
purpose. About five months after il became
then had two of them on each hand, and as his
blood became more and more impure il took
less time for them to break out. sore came on
the chin, beneath the under lip. which was very
offensive. His head was one solid scab, dis
charging a great deal. This was lis condition
at twenty-five months old, VIII IN l undertook
the care of him, his mother having died when
he was a little more than a year old, of consump-
ton (scrofula of course) He could walk lit
tie but could not get up If he fell down, and
could not move when in bed, having no use of
his hands. l Immediately commenced with the
CUTICURA REMEDIES using the CUTICURA and
CUT1CURA SOAP freely, and when he had taken
one bottle of the CUrICuRA RESoLvENT, his head
was completely cured, and he was improved in
every way. We were very much encouraged,
and continued the use OF the Remedies for
year and half. One sore after another healed
a bony matter forming in each one of these five
deep ones just before healing, which would
finally grow loose and were taken out; then
they would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations l preserved. After taking
dozen and half bottles he was completely
cured, and is now, at the age of six years,
strong aud healthy child. The scars on his
hands must always remain; his hands are
strong though we once feared he would never
be able to use them. All that physicians did for
him did him no good. All who saw the child
before using the CUTICURA REMEDIES and see
the child now consider ii wonderful cure. If
the above facts are of any use TO you. you are at
liberty to use them. MRS. E. S. briggs,
